Bridges Electric™ Vector® Series

Features & Benefits

The Bridges Electric™ Vector® series is a line of group-operated switches designed for superior performance in three-phase loadbreak switching while remaining competitive in price. The Vector is available in ratings of 15/25 kV and 38 kV, 150 kV BIL and 200 kV BIL, 900 A or 1,200 A continuous current and 600 A or 900 A loadbreak. The Vector is manufactured as a true unitized switch; it is not three single-phase switches mounted to a crossarm. The switch is completely factory assembled and adjusted eliminating the need for fine tuning in the field following the installation of the switch. The standard Vector switch incorporates bolt-on interrupters; plug-in interrupters are available as an option.

Installation is made simple with the factory-installed “single-point lift bracket.” Provisions for dead-ending all three conductors is standard (on most models) along with the “pole hugger” design for aesthetics. All Vector® series switches are available in pipe-operated versions, hookstick-operated gang (the HOG) versions and motorized versions with SCADA control.
